Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its halogenated aromatic structure which enhances bioactivity. Its electron-withdrawing substituents improve stability and binding affinity in active compounds. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for developing bioactive molecules, especially those targeting central nervous system disorders, where trifluoromethoxy groups contribute to improved metabolic stability and membrane permeability. Additionally, serves as a building block in the preparation of dyes and functional materials requiring high thermal and chemical resistance.
